Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection 'Oversized Barrel-500L' 375ml

Manufacturer's Notes: Holding all other variables constant, we wanted to see effect that barrel size had on the finished product. A typical bourbon barrel holds 200L, and in this experiment we aged bourbon in two larger barrels -- 250L and 500L on the same floor for the same amount of time to examine the impact size had on flavor profile. What we found was that the 250L had a distinctive flavor profile similar to our control barrels, where as the 500L had a lighter finish, altering the balances between the oak and the recipe.
